Hi everyone,
I greet you with a faint heart on this, the eve of the end to the madness. I am half the person I used to be. I feel debased without my search engines, as Im sure Nina would agree about her cleavage. I am a void.
Ok fair enough, that is slightly dramatic but when you're forced to give up your greatest vice, cold turkey or "suffer the consequences" well lets just say its not something I would wish on anyone. As stated in my previous blog, the act of writing down everything I want to google has shown me that I am an extremely strange person. But is there anything wrong with that? I think not. What some (Nina) may call an annoying need to be right (which is true), I call curiosity, so I want to know the answers to all of the questions life throws at me, is that so bad? You'd be surprised at just how many times a day the average person uses google, had I the ability (still not cracking), I would absolutely and unashamedly be the first one to spout that statistic off to you.
Looking back, I wonder if everyone in the world would be able to see their worst habit or offense and makes efforts for one week to change it. Would they do it? What exactly would happen? Personally, I think most people have stronger vices than Nina and I.
And for myself and Nina, I believe that if these are the two things that hinder us from being who we truly are, odds are, we're pretty great. And I speak from experience, Nina is awesome :)
Its 4 pm on Sunday, just a few hours from our goal and I can hardly contain my excitement. In the last day alone, my list of google-able items has doubled. It is a relief that I welcome with both arms open.
I think we can all learn a lot from abstaining from that one thing that we can't get enough of, be it sex, drugs, alcohol, a search engine fancy, or an enjoyment of ones cleavage, it never hurts to take a break, I think this time of reflection has actually made me fall into a deeper love with google and all its best friends (yahoo, askgeeves, wikipedia, etc)
Whatever you endeavor to do in life, I hope you do it well, as always have a wonderful day!

No way. No one, ever, will get me to give up what I love i.e sex and alcohol. But that said, googling isn't a vice and you don't need to regulate your own behavior. If you like googling, I say google away. You've got to do everything you can to filch a little joy out of this horrible, bleak dog-eat-dog black chaos that we call life, so if it makes you happy just do it. Just as long as you don't hurt anybody else while doing it. I just hope for your sake Kate that when you're on your deathbed you don't think back to this week and say "damn I really wish I had googled THAT fact; I wish I had read up on THAT statistic; if only I had searched THAT naked celebrity. Life's too short for regrets, Kate. Don't let Nina ruin everything
lol I wonder who wrote this comment...
